Glen Jacobs, aka Kane.

While most fans know him as the Undertaker's kayfabe brother--or the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee--but his long career has lasted over twenty-seven years.

Kane got his start under the name Doomsday but was perhaps more well known in his early career as Unabomb. Being nearly seven feet tall and well over three hundred pounds, his ability to fly off the top rope was almost unheard of at the time for a man that size.

Kane wrestled exactly one match in WCW, a loss to Sting, before joining the WWE as Dr. Issac Yankem, DDS, Jerry Lawler's personal dentist.

He would feud with Bret Hart before disappearing for a time, and making his re-debut as the ill-received 'fake' Diesel character when Kevin Nash left WWE for WCW.

However, when he became the masked Kane his career finally took off. Kane would wind up holding the WWE World title on two separate occasions, and also held the ECW championship and the world tag team championship.

Why he deserves to be in the hall of fame: Kane has been in the sport for a very long time, a true ring general who was always willing to play any role given to him for the good of the company.
